So @xaitax has cracked Microsoft Recall, he's got access to the encrypted database and has automated dumping of screenshots and all text from screenshots.

I've looked at most recent Recall and yep, you can just read the database as a user process. The database also contains all manner of fields which aren't publicly disclosed for tracking the user's activity.

No AV or EDR alerts triggered, world's #1 in infostealer 😅

* you can just read it in plain text

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE CHAMPION BUT WHEN THE SOCIAL COPY IS IN CAPS EVERYONE IS A WINNER

I have an interview soon that's supposed to be about "finding Planet 9 with the Vera Rubin Observatory", and I'm going to see if I can hijack it into an interview about satellite pollution instead.

I'm quite convinced that there is not another giant 10x Earth-mass planet out there waiting to be discovered, but there's a super interesting story written into the orbits of distant TNOs, waiting to be uncovered about our solar system's history, and it's going to get obliterated by satellite streaks
